Rotate MAME with MA?

(1/2) > >>

jimmy2x2x:
Is there any way to autorotate mame with MA?

At the moment I have 2 batch files on my desktop

'VerticalMame.bat'
d:
cd D:\Emulation\Mame\ini
del mame.ini
copy rotate.ini mame.ini

'HorizontalMame.bat'
d:
cd D:\Emulation\Mame\ini
del mame.ini
copy normal.ini mame.ini

I just run which ever I want for the correct rotation, which is just switching 'ror' to a 1 for rotation, and back to 0 for horizontal.

A bit clunky, but it works - I will need to take care if I'm changing any mame options.

Any more elegant solutions?

Thanks

How would adapt the above batch files for running from within MA's 'batch file' menu

If I run them as is, I need to exit the batch file with a right mouse 'exit emulator' click

Rick:
Just a question: does this have anything to do with rotating games when playing in something like a cocktail cab?  (I.e. Is this something you'd do to rotate the screen 90 degrees for Player 2 when it's their turn at Pacman, for example?)  If not, could someone point me in the right direction for that?

Tks.

Hi Rick, My question has nothing to do with cocktail modes, it was about rotating a monitor in a normal upright cab.

In regards to your question:

Fire up mame
press tab
select dip switches
change the 'cabinet' entry from upright to cocktail

I suspect this option isnt available on all games, you will need to research which ones are designed that way

Hope that helps

Ah.  Sorry about the threadjack...

I'm using MAME 0.139 (compiled) but cannot find the way to get into dipswitch settings...  I've got "Configure General Inputs" and "Other Controls" but that's as close as I can come...  Thoughts?
